Chronic Pain

Research Has Proven That Both THC And CBD Provide Effective Relief From Pain And Can be a Safer Choice Than Conventional Medicine. Discover How Medical Cannabis Can Help Treat Chronic Pain

What Does it Mean to Have Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain, is pain that has lasted for longer than a 6 month period. After that amount of time, the brain becomes used to receiving the feeling of pain from the nerves that are affected. The brain sends signals to the nerves, and when the nerves respond, the feeling is internalized.

With chronic pain, the feeling is constant so the brain becomes used to having it there. This can make it challenging to get the brain to stop feeling the pain – even when the pain itself is gone.

Chronic Pain Symptoms

Chronic pain can be caused by any number of things and is associated with a poor quality of life when compared to other chronic diseases.

From a “bad back” that throbs constantly or when you sit too long, to a shoulder that feels like pins or burning when it’s moved a certain way, chronic pain affects people in different ways.
